Afternoon Tea at the Lounge

A quintessentially British institution such as afternoon tea calls for a setting that radiates warmth and sophistication. Our Lounge is the perfect spot in which to experience a treasured tradition.

It is said that afternoon tea was invented in 1841, by Anna Maria, the wife of the Duke of Bedford. The long gap between lunch and dinner proved too much for her, and so she began to enjoy a pot of tea and a bite to eat in the mid-afternoon. Her fellow aristocrats were quick to develop the idea into a social occasion, and it is this tradition that we embrace to this day at The Royal Horseguards Hotel.

Afternoon tea is a wonderful way to gather and celebrate, and we are delighted to offer a complimentary private dining room for parties of 10 or more.
